I don't know. I see it as Cotto performing to the challenge. Urkal is a pretty well tucked up guy without a great offense. Hence Cotto banging away at strong arms, etc. Quintana showed him a lot more and was taken out of it.Phenomenal-Nutrition wrote:Cotto didn't look like a monster against Ukral, which leads me to ask, how good was Quitana and how good was he? I don't think Quintana was in the same league as Judah.Final Fight wrote:yet he was given better angles, movement, from the southpaw side by the far better Quintana. Cotto had to take some nasty body shots yet he coolly, ruthlessly and efficiently broke the fellow PR's spirit.Phenomenal-Nutrition wrote: The Malignagi fight showed Cotto to be 1 dimensional and a little clumsy when given angles and movement. Against Torres/Corley he showed himself to be face first fighter who ate punches.
Cotto is seriously stepping up in class. We say Witter hasnt fought the best but neither has Cotto - Torres (got a gift), Corley (hurt him), Malignaggi (outlanded him), Ndou (went 50-50), Quintana (unproven) are all good but all barely top 10ers. All showed Cottos weaknesses and frailties.
Now Cotto could certainly KO Judah but if he doesn't Judah will win
I see it as being down to weight. at 140 Cotto was a drained and vulnerable fighter. at 147 he appears just right.
I see it as if Judah can't get rid of Cotto early - which he can't - then Judah is in for a beating.
As for Judah - hes a fighter you can't bet your house on. But I just have a feeling he can pull this 1 out. Definately a fighhter I have a soft spot for because of the excitement with the speed/power/skills/movement.
